If you don't already, start doing burpees

This exercise will seriously kick your ass when you first start. I've been doing it for a while (still in beginner routine), but it has made my entire body significantly stronger without adding too much muscle. Picture an ice cube melting in a microwave. That ice cube represents your body fat.

I'm serious, several weeks of doing burpees will not only make your body stronger, but you'll melt sooo much fat. Just try it.

Do you guys seriously hate this exercise THAT much? I find it somewhat fun.

In the military, this exercise (with push-up included) is called "Eight-count bodybuilders". I did quite a lot of these and my memory of them is not pleasant (though that's not a comment against their effectiveness). I guess they would be excellent to do for any sport, but I wouldn't base an entire fitness regimen on this one exercise as you seem to be doing.

Well, I've been drinking a lot of soda and doing those burpees for several weeks like you recommended, but I haven't seen any fat loss results.

I'm not basing my entire fitness regimen solely off burpees. I do them, and move on to other cardio workouts.
